Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Here's a sample...

VBA Code:
Sub test()

    Dim wordApp As Object
    Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    
    wordApp.Visible = True
    
    Dim wordDoc As Object
    Set wordDoc = wordApp.documents.Open(Filename:="c:\users\domenic\desktop\sample.docx") 'change the path and filename accordingly
    
    'do stuff
    '
    '
    
    wordDoc.Close savechanges:=True
    
    wordApp.Quit
    
    Set wordDoc = Nothing
    Set wordApp = Nothing
    
End Sub

Hope this helps!
